M Seat Recline
WARNING
Reclining:
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you don't get the full
protection from seat belts. During
sudden braking or a collision, you
can slide under the lap belt and suffer
serious internal injuries. For
maximum protection, sit well back
and upright.
Reclining the Second-Row Seatback:
Reclining the second-row seatback
when the third-row seat is occupied is
dangerous. The second-row seatback
may hit and injure the occupants in
the third-row seat. Don't recline the
second-row seatback when the third-
row seat is occupied.
To change the seatback angle, lean
forward slightly while raising the lever.
Then lean back to the desired position and
release the lever.
Form No. 8R21-EA-02G
Make sure the lever returns to its original
position and the seatback is locked in
place by attempting to push it forward and
backward.
When returning a rear-reclined
seatback to its upright position, make
sure you support the seatback while
operating the seatback lever. If the
seatback is not supported, it will flip
forward suddenly and could cause
injury.
M Head Restraint
Head Restraints Adjustment:
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
Always drive with the head restraints
inserted when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted.
